Abstract
Most recent research regarding GAS focuses on discrimination and health disparities faced by the transgender community, and on perspectives and identity constructions of patients transitioning from one gender presentation to another. However, few studies address perspectives and experiences of the surgeons performing these operations. This poster serves to gain insight into some of the experiences of these surgeons, in the context of contemporary American society.
